![]() But they are bigger and heavier than I would prefer for carrying in my pocket.Īre there any other compact cameras with viewfinders that I should consider? I would also be interested to hear opinions about using the cameras I have named, through their viewfinders. I assume any of these cameras would do most of what I want very well, except that they show no information in the viewfinder. I am aware of the Canon G12, Nikon P7100 and FujiFilm X10. It is beautifully small, but it is only a point-and-shoot camera, and although good value for £50, I would like better IQ. I would prefer my compact to be able to do the same, but it is not essential. I usually set my D90 to bracket exposures and save images as both RAW and JPEG files. The camera must also have a built-in flash. I want a display of what settings the camera will use, and I want to be able to set exposure compensation and take control of the ISO, shutter and aperture settings when appropriate. Naturally, I would like the best IQ and low light performance I can get for the size and price. I want a zoom lens that will go at least as wide as 28mm equivalent on full frame, but I don’t need “superzoom” telephoto performance. I need a camera small enough to put in my pocket. But most reviews of groups of compact cameras scarcely mention whether the cameras have viewfinders, never mind how effective they are. (I can read the large print “Information” screen on my Nikon D90 without glasses, but I would hate to try to compose a photo from such a blurry view.) It would be very inconvenient to need to carry and use glasses to take photos, and so I want a camera I can use primarily through its viewfinder. ![]() In common, I guess, with most other “baby boomers” who are not short-sighted, without reading glasses my eyes can no longer focus on fine detail like that shown on a camera monitor. But I’m finding it difficult to put together a short list of cameras I should consider. I want to buy a compact camera for use when it is not practical to carry my DSLR outfit.
